Finally a neighbor went down to the cascade corner this past week, and brought back another first hand report. 

Terrestrials ruled the day as you’d expect this time of year; hoppers, beetles, black and cinnamon ants – pretty much the full team.  He used classic patterns, foam patters, some crazy stuff – it all worked. 

There apparently are PMDs mid-day with some spinner falls in the mornings, and caddis in the evenings.  He saw very few green Drakes, and no gray Drakes (it is a bit early).  Ad can happen on both the Bechler and Fall, he did see some baetis on a cloudy afternoon.  

He did also warn that the mosquitoes are ravenous, as bad as he’s seen in several years.

If you have been in and fished the river, we will gladly credit you for information we can post in an update, please shoot us an email!  As we get more data, we’ll provide better information to you.
